Jul 10th, 2021 - Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) is a relatively new optical coherence tomography finding, defined by hyperreflectivity in the inner nuclear layer. In this article, we present a case of a 73-year-old woman who presented with transient v...

Jun 30th, 2021 - This case report describes an unusual presentation of arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) in a 68-year-old patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) secondary to Usher syndrome. The authors report a patient with RP who presented with...

Jun 23rd, 2021 - Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that regulates hematopoiesis in the human body. The presence of EPO and its receptors in different tissues indicates that this hormone has extramedullary effects in other tissues, including the eye. W...

May 19th, 2021 - Although nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is considered a disorder that primarily affects the optic nerve head, optical coherence tomography (OCT) shows peripapillary and foveal subretinal fluid associated with optic disc sw...

Jan 30th, 2019 - Spine surgery is associated with a variety of post-operative visual complications, ranging from mild, transient deficits in acuity to full visual loss. Known risk factors for visual loss include anemia, hypotension, and long surgical times in the ...

Oct 25th, 2018 - Ischemic optic neuropathy is among the most common causes of serious impaired vision in the middle-aged and elderly population in the western world. The current study focuses on a subgroup of ischemic optic neuropathy, the so-called non-arteritic ...

Mar 8th, 2018 - In this study the investigators propose to perform a Phase II Clinical Trial which seeks to evaluate the safety of cell therapy as a new treatment for patients who suffer from acute non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). If it i...

Sep 30th, 2016 - Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common acute optic neuropathy in people older than 50 years. It is characterized by sudden partial loss of vision in one eye and has an increased risk of vision loss in the fellow...

May 12th, 2015 - Patients diagnosed with NAION within 14 days of onset were included. Patients were randomized into 3 groups. Group 1 or control consisted of 30 patients who received gelatinous capsules filled with sugar as placebo. Group 2 or steroid consisted of...

Jul 16th, 2021 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Tocilizumab (TCZ) induced a slow and lasting remission after an ultra-short pulse (three days) of steroids in newly diagnosed giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients, a proof-of-concept trial shows. His early research on cy...

Apr 3rd, 2018 - Case Diagnosis Funduscopy showed a marked asymmetry in the optic disc cup size, with focal tissue loss inferiorly of the right optic disc. There was no optic disc pallor. The cupping of the optic disc, in the absence of optic disc pallor, was sugg...

Dec 8th, 2017 - Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and neurologists may be widely overdiagnosing optic neuritis, researchers say. Neuro-ophthalmologists at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, could confirm only 40% of suspected cases of optic neuritis refer...

Mar 30th, 2017 - Case Diagnosis On OCT, the RNFL in the left eye was thinner than that in the right eye. OCT of the macula showed marked thinning of the inner one-half to two-thirds of the retina superiorly in the left eye. These findings, in addition to the trace...

Sep 11th, 2014 - Case Diagnosis Optic disc hypoplasia is characterized by a small optic disc. There may be abnormal branching of the retinal vessels. This patient's optic discs were normal in size. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy typically occurs in patients wh...
